At the Morgan Company's dock, pier
S5, the men went TO work this morning,
as the company agreed not to handle any
boycotted freight. The Dock Master had
hard work to keep pace with the demand,
as much freight that had been delayed in
consequence Of the boycott and strike ia
now being moved. At the produce dock
a steamer was got away at 2 o'clock this
morning. Itshould have sailed on Thurs.
day night. The Pequot, OF the same
line, arrived to-day, but could not be
unloaded becauae the lougshoremen had
gone out. There were q number OF for.
eiguers supposed to be Portuguese and
with the deck hands some cargo was re-
moved. Several canal boats laden with
cosl we're laid up at the bulkheads, but
there WAS no one to unload them. On this
Anchor Line the steamer wac docked but
no attempt Was made to unload her after
the passengers had ,debarked.
At pier 5, North river. there were yes.
sells waiting to have their freight moved,
but no men could -he procured 10 do the
work. It is expected that the Trans.
Atlantic steamers due on Saturday
will not be able to sail on account of.their
having no means Of getting the. vessel'a
coal supply abroad: ''. = :
The White Star Line Britannia was to
have left port this morning, but was una.
BILE to get her complement Of coal and was
detained. The State Of Georgia Of the

all delayed BY the strike. The Gallia, Of
the Cunard Line, the Devonis, of the

the W. A. Sholetten for Amsterdam, the
Pennlsnd, OF Red Star Line, are moored
for sailing on Saturday but will probably

settled. The coastwise and southern
